What AI? It’s a talking desk lamp!
What’s the right strategy for a product in a category that doesn’t exist?
How do you prioritise, design and monetise a product that everybody needs, but no one expects?
OK, so when fighting the loneliness of older adults living alone, the focus is on creating Companionship. But what will make ageing, lonely Americans accept a talking robot into their homes and lives? What do you focus on, implement, and measure - to know your product is on the right path - when it has no utilitarian purpose, and everything it aims to achieve is a growing set of experiences, gradually defined as a “relationship”.
What is the role of the hardware? How do awareness and context blend in? And inevitably - any LLM / GenAI to speak of?
The five stories marketers should tell
What do Cinderella, Jane Eyre, Aladdin and the Ugly Duckling have in common? Their plot.
Two decades ago the author Christopher Booker argued that throughout history there were only seven basic plots that writers have used. One of them, rags to riches, fits the four stories above.
In the lecture I argue that throughout history there were only five basic stories that marketers have used (quite different from those identified by Booker). Knowing and understanding these five can be very useful to marketers, especially today – when marketers are frequently encouraged to tell stories. In the lecture I describe these basic stories as well as four storytelling methods that advertisers should use to overcome the major challenges advertisers face.

So, how does it work?
We will go through a program made up of 6 steps that you will need to implement in order to build a unique experience and create an emotional connection between your team, your product and grow trust and loyalty with your customers.
